The Group operates a B2B division which provides software solutions for binary options brokers. TechFinancials also operates a B2C division in which it has an agreement with Optionfortune, a B2C binary options trading platform registered in Hong Kong.

A major part of the Group's strategy is to increase its share in existing markets and to penetrate emerging and regulated markets with high growth potential.
